While it's important to me to write about all our travels,
it also feels sort of disingenuous to be writing about Vietnam, when that was weeks and weeks ago,
and there is exciting stuff happening in the here and now.

What's so exciting?, you might ask.
Well, tonight is the last night of our travels!
Yes, that's right, tomorrow we fly back to Sydney to grab our luggage,
and the following day we'll be on a plane back to Los Angeles.

We are so.excited.So excited.

The travel has been amazing,
and, truly, I cannot wait to share so many of the photos and memories with you guys,
but we are ready to go home.
We are ready to see our friends.We are ready to get our dogs.
We are ready to eat the shit out of enjoy Starbucks, Yogurtland, Chipotle, Trader Joe's, Souplantation,
and all our other faves.We are ready.

And how can I not share this anticipation with you guys?
If I write about it weeks from now, I think it might be lacking emotion.
So I guess what I'm saying is this:No, I'm not done writing about our Big Adventure.Yes, there might be some weird time warp breaks to share what's happening in real time.

We are in one of the most beautiful places on Earth right now,
Queenstown New Zealand.
I'm too lazy to upload pictures at the moment, so you'll have to take my word for it.
It's gorgeous. And we're enjoying it.
But a good test of being ready to go home is when even the most beautiful places
don't hold a candle to home.

I cannot believe you are already wrapping up your trip! I bet you've had such an amazing time and I cannot wait to hear about the rest of it! I wish you safe travels back to the states! I cannot even imagine your excitement!

Oh my gosh! What an exciting time to stumble upon your blog. I can't wait to hear more about your travels! New Zealand especially...it's been on our dream list for a long time...so I'll just live vicariously through you :-)K? Hope you have safe travels back home!

It always makes me laugh when I read about bloggers talking about how amazing their holiday to NZ is! I guess living here kind of makes me take stuff for granted a bit. :S

I hope you have a safe trip home and I'm definitely looking forward to reading about your visit to my teeny little country in the middle of nowhere...although BTW...we do have Starbucks in Christchurch! ;)

I know what you mean about blog time. I tend to schedule my posts about a week in advance, so sometimes I feel like my blog is living it's own life out there, a week off from where I am. Sometimes I wonder if I should make it more "real time", but there is something nice about having things scheduled, too. Plus it gives me breathing room so I don't have to think of what to write every day!
